  • Thanks for this NEgirl.Made your Christmas Biscotti and then adapted the recipe to chocolate & nut, and a plain chocolate biscotti. Won't commit to making every week, but will certainly pop onto your blog and make things as when I can.

    Your box is fab dizzytina.

    I think this looks like a gorgeous idea! I love your blog NEgirl.

    I can't promise to bake every week (trying to keep the grocery budget down so will depend on that, also don't always get time) but I will be following this one and trying out at least some of the recipes.

    Think I will modify it a bit and build up some of DS1 and DS2's favourite recipes over a long time to have for when they leave home (thinking very far ahead here - they're only 8 and 3!!!)
  • can someone help.

    I don't have 12x12 cardstock. I only have A4 page of lovely patterned paper.. Is there any way of making a similar box to fit the recipe cards? If so does anyone have instructions or measurements??

    cheers :):)

    Emmy check down the right hand side of my blog - theres a load of tutorials and i think the A4 simple folded notebox would probably do. Do you have an old box you could cover with the patterned paper? How about a Ferrero Roche box - those clear ones would look pretty with a strip of paper and ribbon etc round plus you could adapt the size of cards to fit inside :)

  • I made one, glued it the wrong way, but managed to unstick it, and salvage the damage... looks good! :)
